Chapter 78: Will

"Just entered like that?"

Lin Qing was somewhat stunned.

Originally, he had been unable to enter the technique《Will》for a long time and was already preparing to spend merit points to learn it again.

Who would have thought...

He had only come to this Mindfulness Meditation Class for a short while, and just like that, he entered? However, the technique《Will》was originally a form of self-hypnosis, focusing more on the realm of mental will; with his current clear state of mind, learning it yielded twice the result with half the effort, so entering was understandable.

If it were another technique that did not value mental will, the help from this state of mind would be very small.

But, no matter how you look at it, it was astonishing.

"This Mindfulness Meditation Class is not ordinary..."

Lin Qing kept his eyes closed, continuing to listen to that strange tapping sound.

The internet often featured so-called sound therapies, using various sound stimuli to influence the release of certain neurotransmitters in the brain, thereby alleviating anxiety, improving mood, helping with mental illness treatment, and even boasting of promoting physical recovery.

It belonged to metaphysical spiritual comfort.

Yet now Lin Qing discovered that the tapping sound emitted by the middle-aged man was actually useful!

Just the feeling of refining the spirit and making the brain clear was worth it, even if the tuition for this meditation class was extremely high.

After a moment, the tapping sound slowly ceased.

The students in the quiet room opened their eyes, each involuntarily revealing a smile of heartfelt contentment.

No one would dislike such an enjoyment and relaxation of refining the spirit.

"That's all for today."

The middle-aged man smiled slightly, bowed to everyone, and then turned to leave.

Lin Qing pondered for a moment and did not chase after him; for a Mindfulness Meditation Class with true skill, simply being able to attend was enough.

Moreover, he had plenty of troubles on his hands now and did not want to get involved with the circle of Telekinesis Awakeners; having Zhao Jiayi was already enough.

"I can advance the technique《Will》once I get home."

Lin Qing glanced at the middle-aged man's back and immediately walked quickly out of this quiet room.

"Order."

Back home, Lin Qing summoned the Entropy Reverser panel.

"Advance, technique《Will》!"

At this moment, a vast amount of inexplicable information continuously poured into Lin Qing's mind.

According to the Entropy Reverser's deduction—

With his talent, to cultivate the technique《Will》to its extreme, besides integrating the technique's variations into instinct, the most important thing was to temper the will until it reached its current limit; this was the most difficult part.

Completing 69 consecutive technique variations would allow perfect integration into instinct.

Then, a massive amount of memories suddenly surfaced in Lin Qing's mind.

These were memories of him cultivating the technique《Will》time and again, from clumsiness approaching perfection, and he did not know how long it had taken.

Fortunately, his will was already astonishing enough, satisfying the requirements of the technique《Will》without needing tempering.

Finally, the technique《Will》completely merged into instinct, capable of being triggered by a single thought.

"Hah..."

Lin Qing slowly opened his eyes. "Is this the technique《Will》?"

At this moment, his gaze was sharp as a blade, his eyes showing not the slightest fluctuation; that condensed will was like a piece of fine steel hammered a thousand times, and even ordinary people would feel terrified just by making eye contact with him.

Furthermore, there was not a single stray thought in his heart; his spirit was extremely concentrated and focused, as if he had entered a strange state, and his thinking was exceptionally clear.

"Flow state?"

This thought flashed through Lin Qing's mind.

Some people, during life-or-death battles, once they panic and lose their courage, become weak in hands and feet, flustered and at a loss, might only be able to exert two or three tenths of their full strength.

But the technique《Will》could guarantee he performed perfectly.

Even for Lin Qing, this technique had significant value; although he had experienced the apocalypse and was naturally very calm, once he encountered certain special situations, this technique could still play a role. Additionally, the technique《Will》had a capability similar to self-hypnosis, allowing him to squeeze his own strength beyond limits, making his power perform at 120% of normal levels.

It seemed his strength only increased by 20%, but even when he activated other techniques, they too could perform at 120%.

"Improved a bit again."

Lin Qing pondered, "Although the progress isn't great, I should be about the same as Xu Qiu now..."

Previously, his strength was already close to Xu Qiu, the number one patrol officer in Lin'an City; now with further improvement, there should be no gap.

In theory, with the strength of a Patrol Chief level, one could walk around Lin'an City with impunity.

But now, with the potential threat from the Illuminati's 'Primeval Research Institute', such strength was far from enough.

"《Will》values will more; as long as it is perfectly cultivated 69 times, it can be made up."

Lin Qing thought to himself, "It's less than half a month... However, the Super-Sensation Original Fluid could take effect at any time, so I must leave an advance slot for the Original Morning Sun Practice Method."

Even if all the God-Transformation series techniques were cultivated to the instinct level, the strength increase would not match the Original Morning Sun Practice Method.

"Pity, the Order Level is still far from level 10."

Lin Qing glanced at the 【Current Order Level: 4.1】 on the Entropy Reverser panel and couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

This time, he had cleared another stronghold of the Crimson Kite Society and its number two person in charge, plus a crowd of Crimson Kite Society thugs, raising the Order Level to as high as 4.1.

But it was still far from level 10.

If he could advance one more skill, he could learn the six techniques of the God-Transformation series much faster.

"These criminals truly deserve to die; if it weren't for you, I wouldn't know how high my Order Level would be..."

Lin Qing took a deep breath and had already made up his mind: "Once my strength is sufficient, I will thoroughly cleanse the entire Lin'an City; even if I don't reach level 10, it probably won't be far off."

……

In an abandoned factory on the outskirts of Lin'an City.

This place is extremely close to the coastal metropolitan circle; even near midnight, the night can only slightly erode this area shrouded by the glow of the metropolitan circle.

Deep within the factory, it was dim; a lean bald man leaned against a corner, arms crossed, resting with his eyes closed.

"Click, click, click, click, click..."

Suddenly, a sound of footsteps echoed inside the factory.

The bald man abruptly opened his eyes, two beams of cold sharpness seeming to ignite in the darkness.

Immediately, a beam of light struck the bald man, illuminating his face.

It was none other than the notorious fugitive from Qinghu Island, Chu Tianyao.

"Why are you hiding here?"

A sharp voice, processed through a throat modulator, suddenly sounded from behind the source of the light beam.

"You're here?" Chu Tianyao squinted slightly, looking against the light, but saw only a black-clad figure wearing a pale smiling mask.

"Are you Number One of the Oriole Red Society?" Chu Tianyao spoke.

The mysterious person wearing the pale smiling mask let out a sharp laugh, shaking his head and saying, "Although I have no interest, one could say that."

"Verify your identity first." Chu Tianyao stared at the other party expressionlessly.

"Of course."

Beneath that pale smiling mask, a hint of mockery appeared in the mysterious person's eyes; he then turned around, presenting his side to Chu Tianyao, reached out, and pulled open his collar, revealing the skin behind his neck.

It was a sun-shaped tattoo, and within the tattoo was a string of black numbers.

"1412..."

Chu Tianyao's dark brown pupils contracted slightly; he said in a deep voice, "Did you obtain this number through strength? Or is it talent like 7489's?"

The tattoo slowly vanished; the mysterious person also pulled up his collar, and the sharp voice of the modulator sounded again: "I don't have such strong genetic abilities; having mixed in Lin'an for so many years, how could I still rely on talent?"

"With a number this high up, you have this kind of strength; why did the BOSS actually assign you to Lin'an City?"

Chu Tianyao said in a low voice, "Could the legend be true... that the great figure from the Illuminati who created the Original Research Institute also built an experimental base within Lin'an City?"
